Summary

The Magnify search application gives users access to any and all enterprise information by searching it all at once and including tools to understand that information. The process for delivering enterprise information for search is handled by Magnify. Magnify transforms raw data into search content by identifying relationships in the data, categorizing metadata, and making all fields, tables, and data sources searchable. At the same time, Magnify associates each result with Business Intelligence reports tailored by context. For information on how this is done with Format Magnify, see Indexing With Format Magnify.
